The 2008 event was a tremendous success as well as a great opportunity for area citizens to better understand the importance that recreational trails and open space are to the local community. We look forward to seeing many of last year's participants at the 2009 event of National Trails Day held on Sunday, June 7th at Ward Reservation.  The event will begin at 11:00AM and conclude at 4:00PM.                    ....See you then.
